I went to edit my profile on the website and I guess I’m a bit disappointed that there is no formatting at all in terms of images, links, etc. Is that completely nixed? I liked being able to make my profile pretty on the old site.

my bio is also completely bused on the forum after changing it on the website so hm

I’ll concur its a little bit of a bummer. I’m going to miss my little Pokemon pals Some people put them in their signatures, but mine was already so long, I stuck them on my profile the last two years.

It’s also very much possible that this is something that will be implemented in the future, but just hasn’t been added yet. With a site this complex some things get priority over others. That doesn’t mean they aren’t coming though. And by giving your feedback that you’d like this to return, I’m certain that it will get on the list of future updates. We’ll just have to have some patience until the code fairies, aka the tech team get round to it.

I guess in the case of hacked images, I could get it, but you could limit images to a certain host (imgur, or even upload to the website if possible). But no markup? Boo.

I’m really hoping they implement formatting on the main site in the future. Right now there’s an odd disconnect because if you use Markdown formatting in your bio it will be used here on Discourse but not on the main site.

I was testing it last night/this morning, but probably a month ago when I was on site I could still use bold tags and line breaks. I can currently use neither now. So something changed in that month span.
